Horror Express 1973

Product Description
Horror Express (Enhanced) 1973

This film has been enhanced using a Video Enhancement Program that reduces noise and enhances video quality.

In a mysterious crate aboard a train on the Trans-Siberian Railway a monstrous creature is hiding. No one knows what evil was brought on the train by Professor Saxon, who is trying to keep the contents a secret. However, the secret is revealed as passengers start turning up dead. Is it the missing link like Professor Saxon believes? Or is it something more sinister and out of this world?

Horror Express stars major actors Christopher Lee (Professor Saxon), Peter Cushing (Saxon s colleague Dr. Wells) and Telly Savalas (Cossack investigator Captain Kazan). Filming of the movie was done in Spain, however, the movie was more popular outside of the country. Horror Express provides a thrilling train ride for the most avid cult movie fans.

Released in 1972 under the international title Panic on the Trans-Siberian Express, this effective horror thriller is now regarded as one of the better European horror films of the 1970s, aided immeasurably by the casting of horror icons Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Set at the turn of the 20th century, the story begins in China when the arrogant British Professor Saxton (played by Lee) boards the Trans-Siberian Express with a mysterious crate containing a body that he claims is the missing link in human evolution. What he doesn’t know is that his ancient discovery is still alive–a monster with glowing red eyes that stare into the eyes of its victims, boiling their brains and absorbing their intelligence, turning them into zombies possessed by the creature’s evolving personality! Pretty soon even Telly Savalas (as a power-mad Cossack) is raving among the train full of zombies, and it’s up to Lee and rival anthropologist Cushing to destroy them… or die! There’s a surplus of thrills and chills in this sharp, fast-paced Spanish-British production, made at a time when suspense and clever writing were still valued over graphic gore and special effects. –Jeff Shannon

SimCity 4

Product Description
In SimCity 4, you don’t just build your city, you breathe life into it. Sculpt mountains, gouge riverbeds, and seed forests to lay the groundwork for your creation. Then construct the most realistic metropolis you can imagine. Your city comes alive with the hustle and bustle of construction crews, the snarl of traffic, and the activity of your Sims. Move your personalized Sims into your city and watch as they go about their daily lives. Build mansions on mountainsides, raise skyscrapers downtown, and build transportation networks to form a massive region of SimCities that share and compete for resources. With every decision you make, your city and your Sims will respond for better or worse. In SimCity 4, your city pulses with the life you give it.Amazon.com Review
It’s hard to believe that creator Will Wright had trouble selling his original SimCity concept to publishers. That first game went on to fame, notoriety, and great praise–from critics, gamers, and even educators–and spawned countless imitators, not the least of which include Wright’s own smaller-scale The Sims, which went on to become a phenomenon in its own right. Now on its fourth edition, SimCity returns to our hard drives, and would-be city planners everywhere will be busy for a long, long time.

SimCity 4 functions much like its predecessors. You’ve got the power to zone land as residential (green), commercial (blue), and industrial (yellow). You control the budget. You decide where to place crucial services like police, fire, medical, and even utilities like power and water. You place schools, parks, roads, water towers, and scenery as you accede to the many demands of your Sim citizens. Do a good job and your city will grow and the money will flow into your coffers. Do a bad job and the people will pack up and move away, leaving your city treasury in horrific debt and landing you what the game cheekily considers to be a far easier job: senator. The game requires a balancing act that takes both planning and a persnickety nature. There are charts to read, reports to watch, and, above all, needs to juggle. It’s rewarding when it all comes together, and frustrating when you fail, once again, to build anything worthwhile.

That’s why I wish the game came with a better manual. The included book glosses over most major information and then neglects important aspects, such as the RCI indicator (which explains zoning needs) and parts of the budget. At the very least, the manual should include tips on handling debt. There are two tutorials which cover the basics, but again, they won’t help you get out of trouble once you get in too deep. You can find this information in the strategy guide, which is sold separately, but you really shouldn’t have to go that route.

The graphics are amazing, showing a vibrant metropolis with scurrying traffic, wandering Sims, smoking chimneys, and sparkling lights when night falls. Fireworks reward each year of service. And wait until you see the cool disasters you can unleash if the mood strikes you–fire, lightning, tornado, volcano, and giant robot. Oddly, there’s a significant performance hit even on fast systems. Thankfully, the stuttery scrolling and slow-to-respond zoom don’t hurt the game too much since you can pause it at will or fast forward if you need to wait for your cash reserves to build. The most significant flaw is that the game only offers one save slot, which discourages experimentation.

Despite minor imperfections SimCity 4 is an awesome game. You can build several cities next to each other on the map and make them dependant on each other. (You can build the greater L.A. area, in other words.) You can even import your Sims from The Sims to live in your city. Such familiar characters can tell you a lot about what your city needs. Put simply, city planning has never been this fun, this challenging, or this deep. –Andrew S. Bub

Pros:

  • Beautiful graphics and animation
  • Deeper and more realistic than ever before

Cons:

  • Runs slowly on most systems
  • Inadequate manual
